What I'm Reading Now

Michael lives in my neighborhood. I do not know him but I see him around all the time. This book (his first) was named one of the top 10 best books of 2007 by the NY Times Book Review. He also just won the Impac Dublin Literary Award.

What I Just Read

My rating:

(I need to cry for 5 stars.)

Janelle interviewed me eons ago for Salon.com. She's a sassy lady who's super nice. This is her first novel. It received rave reviews and I loved every minute of it.

A place where you can anonymously tweet your secrets even if you don't have a Twitter account. (Kind of like PostSecret for people who aren't crafty and don't have time to make a post card and can divulge their secret in 140 characters or less.)

Barack's Mother-In-Law

From the 60 Minutes interview...

Steve Kroft: There's been a lot of talk about your mother-in-law. Is she moving in with you?
Barack Obama: (Begins to stutter...) Well... uh... I don't tell my mother-in-law what to do. (Breaks into laughter...) I'm not stupid, that's why I got elected president, man.

Role Models

I saw Role Models Friday night and it is so funny. You MUST see it.

My favorite thing about it is Jane Lynch's character... she is hilarious.

Here's the trailer:




And here's a funny clip that's not in the movie, so I'm not ruining anything. Watch:

Mintz's Blintzes

I'm at Trader Joe's right now and I had to take a picture of one of my new favorite things: Mintz's Blintzes. They are dairy free cheese-filled crepes, which sounds gross, but they are oh, so good. I suggest eating them with fresh berries or even one little square of chocolate. You can tuck it inside so it melts... it's so delicious.

Anywho, each blintz is 140 calories and has 5 grams of fat, which isn't too bad.

Okay, time to pay. Bye!

OMG, I'm Psychic And Crying

So, last night I watched yesterday's Oprah before going to bed. She was interviewing Jennifer Aniston about the movie Marley & Me. When I woke up this morning, I was near tears because I had the most terrible nightmare last night... I dreamt that Beverly was sick and needed to be put to sleep. She's only six years old now and was the same age in the dream. When I saw my little muffin safely sleeping by my side, I was so relieved. I've hugged and kissed her so many times today, I can't even begin to tell you.

So, now I'm watching today's Oprah and she just told everyone that she just had her Cocker Spaniel Solomon put to sleep.



They showed a little video package of Solomon through the years. It was so heart-breaking, but because of my dream last night, I now think I'm psychic and tuned in to Oprah's mind. I'm going to try and use it to my advantage.

William Ayers on GMA

Did anyone else watch the interview with William Ayers this morning on GMA? I recorded it and I'm just getting around to watching it now. From GMA's website...

Breaking his silence today, Ayers said that the GOP attack was a "dishonest narrative ... to demonize me."

"I don't buy the idea that guilt by association should have any part of our politics," he said.

Ayers scoffed at the Republican effort to make his ties to Obama appear suspicious.

"This idea that we need to know more, like there's some dark, hidden secret, some secret link," Ayers said. "It's a myth thrown up by people who want to exploit the politics of fear."

Anywho, it's a pretty good interview, but I'm slightly bothered by Chris Cuomo as the interviewer.

First, he has the same mannerisms as Matt Lauer, which makes me think he's trying to be like him. I mean, it's like he's doing an impression.

Second, I'm not trying to defend Ayers, but Cuomo consistently asks loaded questions and, at times, is downright rude. It's like he keeps trying to "trick" him into admitting he and Obama were friends.

Here's part of the interview...
